Application February 9, 1934, Serial No. 710,455

, z Claims. (ci. isi-205) y, This invention relates to improvements intobaccopipes. The "draught or suction of such lwhich takes place at thebottom of the pipe bowl, and particularly at the junction of the bowland the'pipe stem, which clogging is due toy continual accumulation ofvarious ingredients distilled outV of the tobacco during the smoking.Those accumulated ingredients have to be frequently 10 scraped `outofthe bowl, as, besides impairment of the suction, they also form hardor viscous masses which seriously vitiate the taste of 'the`ing-simplied, inexpensive, reliable, eicient, and.

,improved means for retainingan absorbent matei "rial for 'remedyingsaid disadvantages, and for readily, rapidly, andconveniently discardingand ji 'renewing said material.`

A further object is to effect the improved dis- Y Y i'vftillation ofobjectionable ingredients from the tog bacco within the pipe.

. `A still further object is to provide improved 30' 4means for gainingaccess to all the parts and suryfaces inthe region of the junction ofthe pipe bowl and stem, for the rapid, convenient, and efdcient cleaningof the same.

3 appeal.

Thegaccompanying drawing is a longitudinal cross-sectional elevation ofa tobacco pipe embodying the above referred improvements.

The pipe I comprises a bowl 2 and stem 3, and

. Y a fitting 4 comprising a floor 5 having a central, l upwardlyextending, frusto-conical projection 6,

7 andan upstan'ding annular wall 'I which projects upwardly from themargin of floor 5 and surrounds the conical projection 6. The tting 4 issecured in place by being wedged within the bowl 2 inthe manner shown,Aand is provided with a rborer Bj which thus leads toward and into thestem e Ul The wall 1 is tapped at 9, and thereinto is thread-y 'ed' agrate IIlfor the tobacco, which grate may be made of vabsorbent materialor any other suitl able substance. The grate I0 is provided with aseries of perforations II surroundingthe region of a chamber I2 toconvey the smoke to the gutter portion I3, and it is `preferablyprovided with a pipesfis frequently imparedthrough the clogging v,of thetobacco are simultaneously intercepted vand caught by the gutter portionI3, so as to pre- Other objects and advantages will hereinafter at thecentre of the bottom of the bowl is located y3k when the fitting 4 is inits assembled position..

central slotted lug I4 for applying a screw-driver for inserting orremoving the grate. If the grate III is made of a brittle absorbentmaterial it may, when worn, be removed for discarding by being broken upand the remnants thrown out, whereupon a new ltablet may be rethreadedinto position. Saiddepressed gutter portion I3 of fitting 4 serves as apassageway for the smoke and to intercept any objectionable solidifiedor viscous ingredients that may be distilled out of the to- 10 baccoduring the smoking. The underside of the grate I0 is provided with anarched chamber I5 which surrounds the projection 6 and leads to thegutter I3 and opening 8. During use of the pipe, the smoke is conveyedfrom the bowl 2 15 through the perforations II of the grate I0, throughthe gutter I3 laterally upwardly through the chamber I5, and downwardlythrough the conduit 8 and into the stem 3. In the utilization of thepipe, the grate I0 absorbs the objectionable ingredients of the tobaccoresting thereupon, and the same are further absorbed by the passage ofthe smoke through the perforations Il, underneath the grate III, andthrough the arched chamber I5, while the objectionable distillates vententry thereof into the stein 3. After the grate IIl becomes worn, thesame may be discarded and a new one replaced, and at any time convenientaccess may be had to the gutter I3 with any suitable implement forremoving any solid or viscousmattei that may be found therein.

Having thus described my invention, I claim:-

1. In a tobacco pipe, the combination with a bowl and stem, of a ttingwedged in said bowl having a iioor, a central projection extendingupwardly from said floor having an opening leading to said stem, anannular wall of said tting surrounding said projection, said wall beingtapped and a tablet of absorbent material adapted to thread into saidtapped wall and having a chamber thereunder surrounding said projection,whereby the smoke will be directed downwardly through said tablet,upwardly into said chamber, and downwardly through said opening intosaid stem. i

2. In a tobacco pipe, the combination with a ybowl andstem, of a fittingwedged in said bowl having a floor, a central projection extendingupwardly from said floor having an opening leading 50 to ysaid stem, anannular wall of said fitting surrounding said projection, said wallbeing tapped, and ay grate adapted to thread into said tapped wall andhaving a chamber thereunder surrounding said projection. 55
